ENTERCOM Hot AC WMC-F (FM100)/MEMPHIS morning co-host MICHELLE LEWIS turned tragedy into triumph after her cat MUSHROOM lost her battle to stomach cancer. "MUSHROOM was with me since I was 12," LEWIS said. "I was heartbroken and talked about her on the morning show. I couldn't believe the outpouring of stories from listeners who love their cats and I decided to do something to honor MUSHROOM.

"Eight weeks before she died, we were lucky enough to discover something that made her happy and comfortable ... SMARTY KAT CATNIP CAVES!" she continued. "These catnip-infused paper bags clearly made her feel great right to the end. So I went on the air and social media and asked listeners to send CATNIP CAVES for MUSHROOM to FM100 or donate money to our GoFundMe Page so that I could spread this joy to other cats who are looking for a forever home.

'After the drop off date ended, I would personally go hand-deliver and donate the CATNIP CAVES to animal shelters. I'm so happy to share that we collected 400 Caves and were able to drop them off to eight animal shelters across the Mid-South. We definitely made a lot of cats very happy!"
